Shark documentary by Cousteau's grandchildren on CBS right now

[theatis]

There's a documentary called "Shark: Mind of a Demon" where Cousteau's grandchildren build a robotic shark to go swim with great whites in their natural habitat playing on CBS as i write this. Looks interesting so far, we'll see how it turns out. I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up.

I was just abou to post up the same thing. Man I want to do a shark dive!!! And I have GOT to get an uw video setup.

Yeah, it's a stupid title, especially if you want to claim that "sharks have been unfairly demonized." I bet CBS had something to do with the title, sort of like their insanely stupid spring break shark attack movies.

In any case, the program was mediocre in terms of providing useful and educational information and pretty heavy on the overdramatization. Especially for divers though, there were so many things they could have explained that they glossed over, e.g. how did they adjust the buyoancy of the shark-bot, what rebreather systems were they using, etc.

Yeah, pretty poor program. It would have been much better without the sub.

Show sucked. Very disappointed.

I wasn't aware you'd warned us.

 

[H2Andy]

but it sounded good to say so =)

Well, don't watch it when it gets replayed.
